Mae Getting Ready

Mary and Quinn tied the knot on August 8th. It was an awesome day. Mae and I got the opportunity to be in the wedding it was so much fun getting to be a part of all the getting ready stuff, and being even more girly (false eyelashes anyone?) that day.

Mae was excited about everything and was having a blast just running around the lake and getting into everything. At the wedding was a photo booth (so awesome), Mae was apparently helping Brook get stuff together, or playing in the props.

Time for the big show! She got her hair in a ponytail, and got to play with bronzer.

Seriously crazy cute, she was quite the little flower girl.

The Sleeping Bag

I have been very bad at taking pictures this summer, these next 3 pictures are the only ones I took on our McNard camping trip this year (thank goodness for brook and her camera, she got some great ones of Mae).

First thing in the morning hanging out in the tent, just reading a book.

We got Mae a sleeping bag this year for camping. She loved it! I will say it was so nice this year to have her sleeping in her own bag and not sharing with us. She really never napped on the trip, but that meant when she crashed at night she was out hardcore.

So before we left some friends came over and we discovered that Grace could also fit into Mae's sleeping bag perfectly.

Pool Time

This summer has been a hot one. To beat the summer heat we have been going to the pools as much as possible. Mae loves the water.

Mae wanted to "lay out" like Mary, who was working on her tan for the wedding.

Goggles

These pics of Mae wearing goggles make me laugh every time I look at them. So just enjoy!

I feel like she is thinking "why are you all laughing?"
" Cheese"

Last Summer Track Meet

I just logged on to my blogger page and found these pics that I had saved from the last summer track meet. Mae had a blast and wanted to run with the baton the whole time.

She is running the 50 meter dash here.

Mae and Zella have so much fun at the track together. They just run around and watch people and also do the races themselves. I believe that at this meet they both ran the 50, 200, and 400.

Then Mae was crazy and ran a second 400 just for fun :) She was so busy at this meet that we got pizza and she ate 2 slices.

Rain Or Shine Sean Still Turns 29

Sean is officially one year away from 30 YIKES! We had a great party this year, kept it simple with a BBQ and a few close friends. It was raining pretty hard when the food needed to be cooked so Sean and Rick had to bust out the umbrella.

The rain stopped and I made everyone eat outside (with the aid of beach towels to sit on so our bums wouldn't get wet).
Mae had a great time running around half dressed in the rain.
Getting all those candles lit.
Burnin Down The House!

Success! Sean got them all blown out apparently with Maes help. Happy Birthday Sean!

It's My Party I'll Have Fun If I Want Too!

Well Ive been 28 for almost a month now, and nothing has changed except that in 2 years I will be 30 YIKES! Lets not talk about that though. I had a fun night for my special day. Sean and I actually went on a date, then we met up with friends and just hung out and danced.

Mari and I, I Love her! I was so excited when her and Jason decided to come out.

The girls Katie, Me, Grace, Mari. We were all super hot that night!
The boys Rick, Jason, Sean, Blake. It was a fun time had by all!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Learning The Craft Of Car Washing

Sean is very serious about his car washing, thus he has been teaching Mae the finer points so he can have a helper who knows what shes doing. She is taking in the view of the washing from the Car she was given by our neighbors.

Getting out to go help.
Helping Sean dry it like a pro.

Katie & Blakes New Casa

Our good friends Katie and Blake just moved into their first house this month, Mae and I headed over to help Katie wash the walls to get ready for painting. Mae was quite the helper.

Scrub a dub the wall yo!
I think she is thinking "hey mom put the camera down and help me".

Blake mowing the lawn for the first time.

Ta-Da, final room and were done......I would like to add that yes I did help wash the walls. I did the top half and Katie did the bottom half :)

Track NWAACC '09

NWAACC Championships were so much fun. Mae and I always have a good time going to the track and watching all the athletes. Mae is quite the little supporter, cheering and clapping the whole time.

Mae and Linda. Linda will one day teach Mae how to hurdle so that she doesn't have a fear of them like me.

Mae and her friend Zela (they are little track buddies, her mom is one of Seans old athletes).

The Amazing Distance Coaching Crew! Their kids did so amazing at championships and scored 106 points all together (which would have scored 3 place over all). Both the boys team and girls teams won this year.

One of the best parts is at the end of the meet all the athletes try to get the coaches with Ice Water. I usually get in on it myself by collecting all the cell phones and letting the athletes know its good to go. They really caught Sean off guard this year with a sneak attack right at the end. It was amazing.

I love this picture, I think it just shows his pure happiness and surprise. Love you Sean Awesome Coaching!
